Jim Scott, a Northumberland-based photographer, explores the connection between landscape, history, and culture through his imagery. His passion lies in capturing the rugged coastlines, rolling hills, and rich historical landmarks of Northumberland—a region famous for its castles and turbulent past. By blending storytelling with the landscape, Jim brings attention to how history has shaped these terrains.   His journey in photography began as a way to combine his love for early mornings with the beauty of the outdoors. What started as a simple hobby quickly transformed into an obsession. Over time, his fascination with the region’s history grew, and he began incorporating historical elements into his photography.   Jim’s work has garnered significant recognition. In 2022, he won the Northern Photography Prize, and in 2023, he was shortlisted for World Historic Photographer of the Year. His photographs have been featured in prominent publications, including The Telegraph, Daily Mail, and National Trust Magazine. He has also collaborated with Visit Northumberland.   In our conversayion, Jim emphasizes the importance of experimentation, finding personal style, and the impact of both light and history on his images. He shares stories of shooting in extreme conditions and finding joy in the process of capturing and sharing timeless moments.   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Jim’s work  here: Website: https://www.jimscottphotography.com/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/jimscottphoto Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimscottphoto/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JimScottPhoto Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jimscottphoto   Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on https://grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast Or subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #LandscapePhotography #Northumberland #PhotographyJourney #HistoricalLandscapes #PhotographyPassion #VisualStorytelling #NorthernPhotographyPrize #PhotographyTechniques #PhotographyRecognitio
